Rules and Notes
Extended Notes
Address/ZIP variations appear across pages. Official GESMV 'About the Auction Process' lists: 7140 North Dixie Drive, Dayton, OH 45410 (intersection of N. Dixie & Stop Eight Rd.), while ShopGoodwill’s pickup details list 7140 N Dixie Dr, Dayton, OH 45414. Both reference the same physical lot; 45414 is consistent with the North Dixie/Stop Eight area. Payment deadline conflict: an older GESMV event page mentions a 10‑day payment window; the current 'About the Auction Process' specifies 7 days—use 7 days as current. Schedule language also varies: 'every week now online' (current) vs. 'every two weeks' on a general Shop & Donate page (likely outdated). No mobile apps, gate passes, PIN codes, or virtual queue systems are referenced for buyers or transporters. Murphy’s Autocare occasionally refurbishes select 'Goodwill Auto Auction Gems' vehicles that are then auctioned (program detail, not a procedural requirement).
Pickup Rules
After ShopGoodwill payment posts, Goodwill will call the buyer to schedule a pickup appointment (Wednesdays only, by appointment). Bring a valid U.S. government photo ID. The name in the ShopGoodwill shipping/invoice field is the name used on the title (no exceptions). Unit removal is the buyer’s responsibility; Goodwill does not arrange pickup services. Keys/work will not be provided/allowed until the unit is paid in full. If the buyer cannot be reached after 3 attempts (phone/email/service ticket), the vehicle and monies paid are considered a donation and the item is relisted.
